Freaking awesome job! Thanks a million for providing us with the full extend of real, working cockpit instruments, switches and controls like it is in the REAL aircraft!

I'm getting a feeling that finally we've come to the point where IL2+civilian simulators+extra goodies= SoW, which is exactly what i was hoping for.
Not just the combat aspect, but also the "operating the plane" aspect. It's not just something with guns that you point around and shoot, it's a living, breathing machine and nothing gives this off better than a cockpit model which interconnects with the rest of the aircraft systems. Jesus, this is going to huge.

Thanks for taking the time to share the screen shots.
I know exactly what you mean.
I used to think it's a waste of time as well, until a friend of mine taught me how to fly a Catalina add-on in FSX a year or two ago. Then i liked it so much that i almost started a forum-crusade here to have similar features included in SoW

A beautiful cockpit where every single switch is modelled and functional goes a long way to making you feel like you are "inside" the simulator and in a real, working airframe.
Just seeing those 109 cockpit shots i got a feeling of "i'm home", it almost seems cosy and welcoming.

P.S. Holy freaking Batman, the bonus terrain shot on page 10
